All of us here at ELEVATEthinking care about our community. (Go ahead and ask the community: it’ll totally back us up on this). Individually, we help causes near and dear to our respective hearts. But this week, we’re all pulling together for one of the biggest and best charitable organizations around: Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

Right now during Operation Feed 2011, Mid-Ohio Foodbank is conducting their annual drive to show hunger who’s boss. Hundreds of local businesses, schools, civic groups and individuals in central Ohio are joining forces to raise resources to support the food bank and their community, and we’re right there with them and focused on one objective and one objective only:

Kicking hunger’s ASS!

In fact, we’ll be teaming up­–and squaring off–with our good friends at DYNAMIT for a little friendly competition to see that hunger’s ass is kicked correctly.

The name of the game…

BIG WALL OF FEEDING: RACE TO THE TOP

Here’s how it works (and how we’ll ultimately beat our chums at DYNAMIT):

PLAYERS: Sock Monkey (ELEVATE) versus Domo (DYNAMIT).

THE TERMS: For one week (May 2-6), on a daily basis, each team brings in canned goods and non-perishable items for Operation Feed. At the end of each day, the donations will be tallied, progress will be tracked, and the mascots will move along the BIG WALL of feeding one space for every item their team brought in. At the end of the week, the mascot who makes it closest to the tippy top of the BIG WALL of feeding wins!

Of course the big winner will be all the people served by Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

Also, us.

So listen up, check in and cheer on your favorite team (ELEVATE, obviously) by following the friendly rivalry via Facebook and Twitter.
